The reason I wouldn't vote for him is because he has not taken a pro-life stand while governor of MA. My gut tells me that he is pro-life because he's a Mormon, but he put his views behind him so that he could get elected governor in MA. And not only that, he got a crazy bill passed recently that makes it against the law for anyone in that state to not carry health insurance. The guy is not a conservative. Either that or he didn't have the guts to stand up for conservative values because he wanted to be governor of Massachusetts.

While that statement is true of the average Mormon, the LDS Church position on abortion is pretty weak. It leaves the decision of whether to have an abortion or not to the counsel of the LDS bishop.

You should have heard his scheme for socialized medicine that he was spouting on Rush's show the other day: Same socialist smackdown from Romney--the responsible pay the costs for the irresponsible.

Romney or Clinton? What's the difference?

Actually when it comes to his health bill it originally would said that you either purchase insurance or you pay a $10,000 bond to the county hospital district that accrues interest and would be applied to your hospital bill in the event of admittance. It was his personal responsibility clause because under federal law in which he can not change requires hospitals to treat anyone regardless of ability to pay. This would make it so that you either buy insurance or you pay for your expenses, no more hand outs. But the democratic legislator changed that. He also is vetoing the employer fine but it will likely be overturned.

The bill was created with the help of the Heritage Foundation and in it's original version was actually quite good. The bill also deregulates insurance in the state by doing away with several mandates and with the help of insurance companies creating a website called the Connector where people can shop around and buy there insurance. Basically like most things the democrats took a good bill crapped on it and then passed it. I can provide info from the Heritage Foundation on the bill if you would like.

Well said. This has nothing to do with his being Mormon.
